Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe, and Jason Bermas bring you the most powerful 9/11
Documentary yet. Updated.
Yeah, this one is a wow one.
There is a whole heap of people out there who really question what happened on 11 September 2001 in New York. Many will tell you that it is all in plain sight - for all to see.
Yes, conspiracy theories are great. The sheer term "conspiracy theory" gives you chills and is rather exciting. Lots of people who believe in them are also very anal about the very term - they spend ages ranting on about how unfair and derogatory it is to label some belief a conspiracy theory.
I think they should get over that feeling - I think it's great for marketing. It's naughty. It's dirty. It's a dirty dark conspiracy theory.
Robert Anton Wilson on the cover of his bestseller "Everything Is Under Control" also added: "Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not plotting against you..."
Gotta love it.
Of course, many so called "investigators" came up with all sorts of theories and scenarios to explain what we saw on our television screens that day. Some were more sucessful at gaining the public's trust than others...
After all, when you carefully look at the raw footage and take a few moments to just think - the ugly reality of those fateful events begins to rear its ugly head. Things don't add up. Things are suspiciously fast. Things are suspiciously pulverised.
Where does one begin the search for the answers?
I have always said as follows - make an honest effort to investigate everything that happens around you by examining the raw evidence at hand. Then ask yourself the question - "Who Benefits?"
There is no point in starting at the end of the investigation and wondering why something happens. It is much easier to first look at the apparent - or perceived - stakeholders in each situation. What is there to gain from the situation - and thus who benefits from it.
This can be hard. But when investigated carefully and systematically - without introducing personal bias - each event in our everyday lives begins to light up with a meaning.
The final answer to "Why?" will then logically follow. This is the objective of the exercise. This is the carrot at the end of the stick.
Of course, sometimes it is not easy to gather the raw data and things need to be dug out from very obscure sources. You could even say that at times this job is larger than one person. A whole team of investigators might even be required in order to approximate the record of the actual events.
And here, any seeker of the factual will inevitably encounter a major stumbling block. It is especially true in this case - regarding the collapse of the Twin Towers (and Building 7!). The more people are introduced into the investigation, the larger the risk of personal bias. The muddier your picture becomes.
In fact, the more people start working on any project, the greater the need for some sort of summary work, an index to the group effort. And even then - this "index" needs to be compiled by somebody of a particularly refined ability to put the puzzle pieces together - without introducing unnecessary cognitive filters.
That is a lot to ask of a scribe. However, I believe that this is not entirely impossible! I believe that there are people of exceptional skill that devote countless hours of sifting through raw data and other research - and then put it in a coherent whole.
A few efforts of scientific and unbiased evidence investigation have already been presented to the public. The movie above is one such attempt.
I also like the book written by Laura Knight-Jadczyk and Joe Quinn called
